Comment (by nickm):

 Replying to [comment:7 hellais]:

 > First, to setup an environment for testing I needed to build it as a
 shared library.
 >
 > This was done by building tor with `make V=1 CFLAGS=-fPIC`.

 Making this easier is now the focus of #23846.


 > In particular by adding the command line flag `--version` and starting
 tor, I am unable to re-start it due to the exception listed in the above
 gist.

 Hellais opened #26948 for this.

 > == Feedback
 >
 > * Add function for reporting the tor version -
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26947

 Now in needs_review.

 > * Ability to know when the control port is ready
 > * Ability to terminate tor cleanly without using the control port

 These two are covered by #24204.

 > * Ability to get the output of tor_run_main() without having to mock
 standard out

 Opened #26999 for this.

 > * Add API calls for making it easier to setup the configuration for tor

 Opened #26997 for this.
